Description

本発明は、空調用冷媒回路と給湯用冷媒回路が、中間熱交換器を介して互いに熱交換可能に接続されて空調サイクルと給湯サイクルの二元冷凍サイクルが形成されている多熱源の空調給湯システムに関する。 The present invention relates to a multi-heat source air-conditioning hot water supply system in which an air conditioning refrigerant circuit and a hot water supply refrigerant circuit are connected to each other via an intermediate heat exchanger so as to be able to exchange heat with each other to form a dual refrigeration cycle of an air conditioning cycle and a hot water supply cycle. about the system.

空調用冷媒回路と、給湯用冷媒回路とが中間熱交換器を介して熱交換可能に接続され、冷房運転と暖房運転が可能な空調サイクルと給湯運転が可能な給湯サイクルからなる多熱源の二元冷凍サイクルを有する空調給湯システムは広く知られている(例えば、特許文献1、2参照)。
特許文献1には、高温出力を行う高温サイクル(給湯サイクル)と、中温出力又は低温出力を行う中温サイクル(空調サイクル)とを備え、高温サイクルの蒸発器と中温サイクルの凝縮器とが熱交換可能に構成されたヒートポンプシステムが開示されている。特許文献1に開示される技術によると、中温サイクルの排熱を高温サイクルで有効に利用するように運転(排熱回収運転)でき、経済的な運転が可能になる。
The refrigerant circuit for air conditioning and the refrigerant circuit for hot water supply are connected to each other through an intermediate heat exchanger so that heat can be exchanged, and this is a multi-heat source consisting of an air conditioning cycle capable of cooling operation and heating operation and a hot water supply cycle capable of hot water supply operation. An air-conditioning hot water supply system having an original refrigeration cycle is widely known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).
Patent Document 1 includes a high-temperature cycle (hot water supply cycle) that performs high-temperature output and an intermediate-temperature cycle (air-conditioning cycle) that performs medium-temperature output or low-temperature output, and heat exchange is performed between the evaporator of the high-temperature cycle and the condenser of the intermediate-temperature cycle. A heat pump system configured to be possible is disclosed. According to the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is possible to operate (exhaust heat recovery operation) so that the exhaust heat of the intermediate temperature cycle is effectively used in the high temperature cycle, and economical operation becomes possible.

また特許文献2には、冷暖房運転、給湯運転、蓄冷運転、冷暖房給湯運転等が可能な空気調和装置が開示されている。特許文献2に開示される技術によると、複数の切替え弁や膨張弁を備えることによって前記各運転を切り替えることができる。特許文献2に開示される技術によると、各運転を効率よく切り替えることができる。   Patent Document 2 discloses an air conditioner that can perform an air conditioning operation, a hot water supply operation, a cold storage operation, an air conditioning hot water supply operation, and the like.

しかしながら、特許文献1に開示されるヒートポンプシステムでは、中温サイクルの排熱量が高温サイクルでの吸熱量より多いときのみ、中温サイクルの排熱を高温サイクルの熱源として利用できる。換言すると、中温サイクルの負荷(空調負荷)が高い場合に限って中温サイクルの排熱を高温サイクルの熱源に利用でき、排熱回収運転が実行できる。
例えば、断熱性能の高い空間や居住者が少ない空間など、内部発熱の少ない空間を空調するための空調運転や、夜間など外気温の低い状態での空調運転では空調負荷が低くなる場合があり、このような場合に高温サイクルの負荷(給湯負荷)が空調負荷を上回ることがある。
特許文献1に開示される技術では、このような場合に中温サイクルの排熱のみで高温サイクルを要求通りに運転できないという問題がある。
However, in the heat pump system disclosed in Patent Document 1, the exhaust heat of the intermediate temperature cycle can be used as a heat source for the high temperature cycle only when the exhaust heat amount of the intermediate temperature cycle is larger than the endothermic amount of the high temperature cycle. In other words, the exhaust heat of the intermediate temperature cycle can be used as the heat source of the high temperature cycle only when the load of the intermediate temperature cycle (air conditioning load) is high, and the exhaust heat recovery operation can be executed.
For example, the air conditioning load for air conditioning operation for air conditioning a space with low internal heat generation, such as a space with high heat insulation performance or a space with few residents, or air conditioning operation with low outside air temperature such as at night may reduce the air conditioning load. In such a case, the load of the high temperature cycle (hot water supply load) may exceed the air conditioning load.
In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a problem that in such a case, the high-temperature cycle cannot be operated as required only by the exhaust heat of the intermediate temperature cycle.

また、特許文献2に開示される空気調和装置は、メインサイクル(空調サイクル)の排熱を回収するカスケードコンデンサ(中間熱交換器)と、メインサイクルの室外の熱交換器(空調用熱源側熱交換器)とが並列に配置され、カスケードコンデンサと室外の熱交換器を同時に運転することで、メインサイクルの排熱をカスケードコンデンサで回収してサブサイクル(給湯サイクル)に熱を受け渡して排熱回収運転ができるように構成される。
冷房運転されるメインサイクルの排熱をカスケードコンデンサで回収してサブサイクルの熱源として利用するためには、熱量の大きいメインサイクルの排熱のうちの必要な熱量をカスケードコンデンサで回収し、余剰の熱量を室外の排熱用の熱交換器から排熱する必要がある。つまり、メインサイクルで熱を含んで流通する冷媒を、カスケードコンデンサと室外の熱交換器(排熱用の熱交換器)へ好適に分配する必要がある。
しかしながら、特許文献2には、メインサイクルで、カスケードコンデンサと室外の熱交換器へ、冷媒を好適に分配する技術については開示されていない。
In addition, an air conditioner disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes a cascade condenser (intermediate heat exchanger) that recovers exhaust heat of a main cycle (air conditioning cycle), and an outdoor heat exchanger (heat source side heat for air conditioning) of the main cycle. Are connected in parallel, and the cascade condenser and the outdoor heat exchanger are operated at the same time, the exhaust heat of the main cycle is recovered by the cascade condenser, and the heat is transferred to the subcycle (hot water supply cycle) to be exhausted. It is configured to enable recovery operation.
In order to recover the exhaust heat of the main cycle, which is operated by cooling, with a cascade condenser and use it as a heat source for the sub-cycle, the necessary amount of heat from the exhaust heat of the main cycle with a large amount of heat is recovered with a cascade condenser, It is necessary to exhaust heat from the heat exchanger for exhaust heat outside the room. That is, it is necessary to suitably distribute the refrigerant that circulates including heat in the main cycle to the cascade condenser and the outdoor heat exchanger (heat exchanger for exhaust heat).
However, Patent Document 2 does not disclose a technique for suitably distributing the refrigerant to the cascade condenser and the outdoor heat exchanger in the main cycle.

そこで本発明は、排熱回収運転時に、熱量の大きなサイクルにおける冷媒を、排熱回収用の熱交換器と、排熱用の熱交換器とに好適に分配可能な空調給湯システムを提供することを課題とする。 The present invention, when the exhaust heat recovery operation, the refrigerant in the large cycle of heat, and the heat exchanger for exhaust heat recovery, to provide a suitably dispensable air-conditioning hot-water supply system to the heat exchanger for exhaust heat This is the issue.

The hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 will be described in more detail. The hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is located at a position between the hot water supply expansion valve 43 and the hot water supply compressor 41 of the hot water supply refrigerant main circuit 6a.

Since it is used as a hot water supply refrigerant inflow amount adjusting means for adjusting the inflow amount of the hot water supply refrigerant, it is hereinafter referred to as a hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a.
Note that the hot water supply refrigerant circulating in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, R410a, R134a, HFO1234yf, HFO1234ze, CO 2, the refrigerant suitable for use condition from the propane used.

次に、前記した給湯用冷媒回路6に備わる各機器について説明する。
給湯用圧縮機41は、空調用圧縮機21と同様にインバータ制御によって容量制御が可能で、低速から高速まで回転速度が可変であることが好ましい。
給湯用利用側熱交換器42は、図示しないが、給湯流路9に供給される水が流通する給湯用水伝熱管と、給湯用冷媒が流通する給湯用冷媒伝熱管とが熱的に接触するように構成されたものが利用可能である。
給湯用膨張弁43は、弁開度の調整によって給湯用冷媒の圧力を所定の圧力まで減圧することができる。
Next, each device provided in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 will be described.
The hot water supply compressor 41 is capable of capacity control by inverter control similarly to the air conditioning compressor 21 and preferably has a variable rotational speed from a low speed to a high speed.
Although not shown, the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 is in thermal contact with a hot water supply water heat transfer pipe through which water supplied to the hot water supply passage 9 flows and a hot water supply refrigerant heat transfer pipe through which hot water supply refrigerant flows. Those configured in this way are available.
The hot water supply expansion valve 43 can reduce the pressure of the hot water supply refrigerant to a predetermined pressure by adjusting the valve opening.

また、空調用冷媒回路5の中間熱交換器23の出入口には、それぞれ開閉弁35a,35bが備わっている。
なお、中間熱交換器23の符号23aは、冷房運転時に空調用冷媒の入口となる冷房時空調用冷媒入口(第2空調用冷媒入口)、符号23bは、冷房運転時に空調用冷媒の出口となる冷房時空調用冷媒出口(第2空調用冷媒出口)を示す。
また、中間熱交換器23において、給湯運転時に給湯用冷媒の入口となる給湯用冷媒入口(第2給湯用冷媒入口)23cに開閉弁49bが配設され、給湯用冷媒の出口となる給湯用冷媒出口(第2給湯用冷媒出口)23dに開閉弁49dが配設される。
因みに、空調サイクルでの暖房運転時は、中間熱交換器23における空調用冷媒の出入口は逆になる。
具体的に、空調サイクルでの暖房運転時、中間熱交換器23では冷房時空調用冷媒出口23bが空調用冷媒の入口となり、冷房時空調用冷媒入口23aが空調用冷媒の出口となる。
さらに、中間熱交換器23の空調用冷媒流路は、給湯用冷媒回路6を循環する給湯用冷媒が効率よく吸熱できるような流路構造やパス構成であることが望ましいため、流路抵抗が、空調用熱源側熱交換器24より大きくなる場合がある。
同様に、中間熱交換器23の給湯用冷媒流路は、空調用冷媒回路5を循環する空調用冷媒が効率よく放熱できるような流路構造やパス構成であることが望ましいため、流路抵抗が、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44より大きくなる場合がある。

An on-off valve 49d is provided at the refrigerant outlet (second hot water supply refrigerant outlet) 23d.
Incidentally, at the time of the heating operation in the air conditioning cycle, the inlet / outlet of the air conditioning refrigerant in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is reversed.
Specifically, during the heating operation in the air conditioning cycle, in the intermediate heat exchanger 23, the cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 23b serves as an air conditioning refrigerant inlet, and the cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 23a serves as an air conditioning refrigerant outlet.
Further, the air conditioning refrigerant flow path of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is desirably a flow path structure or path configuration that allows the hot water supply refrigerant circulating in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 to absorb heat efficiently, so that the flow resistance is low. In some cases, the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 becomes larger.
Similarly, it is desirable that the hot water supply refrigerant flow path of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 has a flow path structure or path configuration that allows the air conditioning refrigerant circulating in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 to efficiently dissipate heat. However, it may be larger than the heat source side heat exchanger 44 for hot water supply.

基本的に、空調給湯システム100は、排熱回収運転時に図2に示す「第1運転状態」に設定される。すなわち、給湯サイクルにおいて給湯用圧縮機41が運転され、給湯用利用側熱交換器42が凝縮器として使用され、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44が不使用であり、中間熱交換器23が蒸発器として使用される。一方、空調サイクルでは空調用圧縮機21が運転され、空調用利用側熱交換器28が蒸発器として使用され、空調用熱源側熱交換器24が不使用であり、中間熱交換器23が凝縮器として使用される。   Basically, the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 is set to the “first operation state” shown in FIG. 2 during the exhaust heat recovery operation. That is, the hot water supply compressor 41 is operated in the hot water supply cycle, the hot water supply side heat exchanger 42 is used as a condenser, the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is not used, and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is evaporated. Used as a vessel. On the other hand, in the air conditioning cycle, the air conditioning compressor 21 is operated, the air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28 is used as an evaporator, the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 is not used, and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is condensed. Used as a vessel.

なお、図3〜5において、熱交換器(中間熱交換器23、空調用利用側熱交換器28、空調用熱源側熱交換器24、給湯用利用側熱交換器42、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44)に付された太矢印は熱の流れを示しており、各回路(空調用冷媒回路5、給湯用冷媒回路6、空調用冷温水循環回路8、給湯流路9)に付された矢印は、冷媒(空調用冷媒、給湯用冷媒)または流体(水、湯)が各回路を流通する方向を示している。また、白色の開閉弁(35a,35b,49b,49d)及び白色の流量制御弁(空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c、第2制御弁35d、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a、第4制御弁49c)は開弁した状態、黒色の開閉弁及び黒色の流量制御弁は閉弁した状態を示している。また、四方弁(22,53)においては、実線で示された円弧が冷媒及び流体の流路を示している。また、室外ファン(空調用室外ファン25、給湯用室外ファン45)は、白色の場合は運転中であることを示し、黒色の場合は停止中であることを示している。そして、破線で示される熱交換器(中間熱交換器23、空調用熱源側熱交換器24、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44)は、不使用の熱交換器、すなわち、冷媒が流通しない熱交換器を示し、実線で示される熱交換器は使用される熱交換器、すなわち、冷媒が流通する熱交換器を示している。

3 to 5, heat exchangers (intermediate heat exchanger 23, air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28, air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24, hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42, hot water supply heat source side heat The thick arrows attached to the exchanger 44) indicate the flow of heat, and are attached to each circuit (the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5, the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the air conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8, the hot water supply passage 9). The arrows indicate the directions in which refrigerant (air conditioning refrigerant, hot water supply refrigerant) or fluid (water, hot water) flows through each circuit. Also, the white on-off valve (35a, 35b, 49b, 49d) and the white flow control valve (air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c, second control valve 35d, hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a, fourth control valve 49c). Indicates the opened state, and the black on-off valve and the black flow control valve are closed. In the four-way valve (22, 53), the arc indicated by the solid line indicates the refrigerant and fluid flow paths. Further, the outdoor fans (air conditioning outdoor fan 25 and hot water supply outdoor fan 45) are in operation when white, and are stopped when black. The heat exchangers (intermediate heat exchanger 23, air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24, hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44) indicated by broken lines are heat exchangers that are not used, that is, heat that does not circulate refrigerant. A heat exchanger indicated by a solid line indicates a heat exchanger to be used, that is, a heat exchanger through which a refrigerant flows.

空調給湯システム100を排熱回収運転するとき、制御装置1aは、図3に示すように、空調給湯システム100を「第1運転状態」に設定する。すなわち、制御装置1aは、空調用圧縮機21の吐出口21bから吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒が中間熱交換器23に流入するとともに、空調用利用側熱交換器28を流通した空調用冷媒が空調用圧縮機21の吸込口21aに流入するように四方弁22を切り替える。
さらに、制御装置1aは、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを閉弁するとともに空調用室外ファン25を停止し、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cを閉弁するとともに給湯用室外ファン45を停止する。
空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの閉弁によって、空調用熱源側熱交換器24への空調用冷媒の流入が遮断されることから、本実施形態において空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cは、空調用熱源側熱交換器24への空調用冷媒遮断手段として機能する。なお、空調用冷媒遮断手段として、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの他に図示しない遮断弁が冷房時空調用冷媒入口24aに備わる構成であってもよい。
同様に、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの閉弁によって、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44への給湯用冷媒の流入が遮断されることから、本実施形態において給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44への給湯用冷媒遮断手段として機能する。なお、給湯用冷媒遮断手段として、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの他に図示しない遮断弁が給湯用冷媒入口44aに備わる構成であってもよい。
さらに、制御装置1aは、開閉弁35a,35b,49b,49dを開弁する。
なお、制御装置1aは、必要に応じて空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを開弁して空調用室外ファン25を運転し、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cを開弁して給湯用室外ファン45を運転するが、その詳細は後記する。
When the exhaust heat recovery operation of the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 is performed, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 to the “first operation state” as illustrated in FIG. That is, the control device 1a is configured such that the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 21b of the air-conditioning compressor 21 flows into the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and flows through the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28. Switches the four-way valve 22 so as to flow into the suction port 21a of the air conditioning compressor 21.
Further, the control device 1a closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d, stops the air conditioning outdoor fan 25, and closes the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c. At the same time, the outdoor hot water supply fan 45 is stopped.
Since the flow of the air conditioning refrigerant to the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 is blocked by closing the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c, the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjusting valve 35c in this embodiment is the air conditioning heat source. It functions as a refrigerant shut-off means for air conditioning to the side heat exchanger 24. As the air conditioning refrigerant shut-off means, a configuration in which a shut-off valve (not shown) is provided in the air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a in addition to the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c.
Similarly, since the flow of the hot water supply refrigerant to the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is blocked by closing the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a, the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a in the present embodiment is It functions as a hot water supply refrigerant blocking means for the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. The hot water supply refrigerant shut-off means may be configured such that a shut-off valve (not shown) is provided in the hot water supply refrigerant inlet 44a in addition to the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a.
Further, the control device 1a opens the on-off valves 35a, 35b, 49b, 49d.
The control device 1a opens the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d as necessary to operate the air conditioning outdoor fan 25, and supplies the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve. 49c is opened to operate the hot water supply outdoor fan 45, the details of which will be described later.

空調用圧縮機21から吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒は中間熱交換器23に流入し、低温の給湯用冷媒へ放熱して凝縮して液化する。この高圧の液冷媒は、空調用タンク26を流れた後に所定の開度で開弁している空調用膨張弁27で減圧、膨張し、低温低圧の気液二相冷媒となり、空調用利用側熱交換器28に流入する。空調用利用側熱交換器28内を流れる気液二相冷媒は、空調用冷温水循環回路8を流通する相対的に高温の冷水から吸熱して蒸発し、低圧のガス冷媒となる。この低圧のガス冷媒は四方弁22を経由して空調用圧縮機21の吸込口21aに流入し、空調用圧縮機21によって再度圧縮されて高温高圧のガス冷媒となる。   The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the air conditioning compressor 21 flows into the intermediate heat exchanger 23, dissipates heat to the low-temperature hot water supply refrigerant, and is condensed and liquefied. This high-pressure liquid refrigerant is decompressed and expanded by an air-conditioning expansion valve 27 that is opened at a predetermined opening after flowing through the air-conditioning tank 26 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. It flows into the heat exchanger 28. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 absorbs heat from the relatively high-temperature cold water flowing through the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 21a of the air-conditioning compressor 21 via the four-way valve 22, and is compressed again by the air-conditioning compressor 21 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant.

空調用冷温水循環回路8では、空調用利用側熱交換器28を流れる空調用冷媒に放熱した冷水が空調用冷温水循環ポンプ52によって空調用冷温水配管55aを流通し、室内熱交換器61に流入する。室内熱交換器61では、空調用冷温水循環回路8内の冷水と住宅60の室内の高温の空気とで熱交換が行われ、住宅60の空気が冷却される。つまり、住宅60の室内が冷房される。このとき、室内熱交換器61を流れる冷水は、住宅60の室内の空気から吸熱して昇温する。この昇温された冷水は空調用冷温水ポンプ52によって空調用冷温水配管55b,55cを流通し、再度、空調用利用側熱交換器28で空調用冷媒に放熱して冷却される。   In the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning, the cold water radiated to the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 is circulated through the air-conditioning cold / hot water pipe 55 a by the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation pump 52 and flows into the indoor heat exchanger 61. To do. In the indoor heat exchanger 61, heat is exchanged between the cold water in the cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 for air conditioning and the hot air in the room of the house 60, and the air in the house 60 is cooled. That is, the room of the house 60 is cooled. At this time, the cold water flowing through the indoor heat exchanger 61 absorbs heat from the indoor air of the house 60 and rises in temperature. The heated cold water flows through the air conditioning cold / hot water pipes 55b and 55c by the air conditioning cold / hot water pump 52, and is again radiated to the air conditioning refrigerant by the air conditioning use side heat exchanger 28 and cooled.

給湯用冷媒回路6では、給湯用圧縮機41で圧縮され高温高圧となったガス冷媒が給湯用利用側熱交換器42に流入する。給湯用利用側熱交換器42内を流れる高温高圧のガス冷媒は、給湯流路9内を流れる水に放熱して凝縮し、液化する。そして、液化した高圧の液冷媒は、給湯用冷媒タンク46を流れた後に所定の開度で開弁している給湯用膨張弁43で減圧、膨張して低温低圧の気液二相冷媒となる。この気液二相冷媒は、中間熱交換器23を流れる間に、中間熱交換器23を流れる高温の空調用冷媒から吸熱して蒸発し、低圧のガス冷媒となる。この低圧のガス冷媒は、給湯用圧縮機41の吸込口41aに流入し、給湯用圧縮機41によって再度圧縮されて高温高圧のガス冷媒となる。   In the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the gas refrigerant compressed by the hot water supply compressor 41 and having a high temperature and high pressure flows into the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply passage 9 and condenses and liquefies. The liquefied high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the hot water supply refrigerant tank 46, and then is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 opened at a predetermined opening degree to become a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. . While flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23, the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant absorbs heat from the high-temperature air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41 and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant.

給湯流路9では、給水口78に流入した水が給湯用配管72内を流通して給湯用利用側熱交換器42に流入する。そして、給湯用利用側熱交換器42で、給湯用冷媒回路6を流通する給湯用冷媒から吸熱して、高温の水(湯)となる。この湯は、給湯用配管73を流通して貯湯タンク70に貯湯され、利用者の要求に応じて給湯口79から給湯される。   In the hot water supply passage 9, the water flowing into the water supply port 78 flows through the hot water supply pipe 72 and flows into the hot water use side heat exchanger 42. Then, the hot water supply side heat exchanger 42 absorbs heat from the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 and becomes high-temperature water (hot water). This hot water is circulated through the hot water supply pipe 73 and stored in the hot water storage tank 70, and hot water is supplied from the hot water supply port 79 according to the user's request.

このように、排熱回収運転では空調給湯システム100が「第1運転状態」に設定される。そして、空調用冷媒回路5を流通する空調用冷媒が住宅60の室内から回収した熱は中間熱交換器23を介して給湯用冷媒回路6を流通する給湯用冷媒に吸熱された後、給湯用利用側熱交換器42を介して給湯用配管72を流通する水に伝熱される。この運転により、住宅60の室内から回収した熱を給湯用配管72を流通する水の加熱源として利用することが可能となる。   Thus, in the exhaust heat recovery operation, the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 is set to the “first operation state”. The heat recovered by the air conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 from the room of the house 60 is absorbed by the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 via the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and then used for hot water supply. Heat is transferred to the water flowing through the hot water supply pipe 72 via the use side heat exchanger 42. By this operation, the heat recovered from the room of the house 60 can be used as a heating source for water flowing through the hot water supply pipe 72.

しかしながら、空調用冷媒回路5を流通する空調用冷媒が中間熱交換器23及び空調用熱源側熱交換器24で放熱する熱量(以下、空調放熱量と称する)は、住宅60の室内から室内熱交換器61が回収する熱量であるため、住宅60の室内温度として利用者が設定する温度や外気温度等によって決定される。
一方、給湯用配管72を流通する水の沸き上げに必要とする熱量(以下、給湯吸熱量と称する)は、貯湯タンク70に貯湯する湯の湯温として利用者が設定する温度や給水口78から供給される水の水温等によって決定される。したがって、空調放熱量と給湯吸熱量が一致しない場合がある。
However, the amount of heat (hereinafter referred to as air-conditioning heat dissipation amount) radiated by the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 is from the room of the house 60 to the indoor heat. Since the amount of heat collected by the exchanger 61 is determined by the temperature set by the user as the room temperature of the house 60, the outside air temperature, or the like.
On the other hand, the amount of heat required for boiling water flowing through the hot water supply pipe 72 (hereinafter referred to as hot water supply heat absorption amount) is a temperature set by the user as the hot water temperature of hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 70 or a water supply port 78. It is determined by the temperature of the water supplied from. Therefore, the air-conditioning heat radiation amount and the hot water supply heat absorption amount may not match.

例えば、空調サイクルにおいて冷房負荷が高い場合のように空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きい場合(空調放熱量>給湯吸熱量)、空調用冷媒回路5を流通する空調用冷媒の全てが中間熱交換器23を流通すると、給湯用冷媒回路6を流通する給湯用冷媒を介して給湯用配管72を流通する水に供給される熱量が過剰になる。したがって、空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きい場合、空調用冷媒回路5を流通する空調用冷媒が中間熱交換器23と空調用熱源側熱交換器24とに分配されて、空調用冷媒が中間熱交換器23で放熱する熱量が給湯吸熱量と等しくなるように空調給湯システム100が制御される構成が好ましい。   For example, when the air conditioning heat dissipation amount is larger than the hot water supply heat absorption amount (air conditioning heat dissipation amount> hot water supply heat absorption amount), such as when the cooling load is high in the air conditioning cycle, all of the air conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 is subjected to intermediate heat exchange. When flowing through the hot water supply 23, the amount of heat supplied to the water flowing through the hot water supply pipe 72 via the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 becomes excessive. Therefore, when the air-conditioning heat dissipation amount is larger than the hot-water supply heat absorption amount, the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 is distributed to the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24, and the air-conditioning refrigerant is intermediate. A configuration in which the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 is controlled so that the amount of heat radiated by the heat exchanger 23 is equal to the amount of absorbed hot water supply is preferable.

そこで、排熱回収運転されるときに空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きい場合、制御装置1aは、空調用熱源側熱交換器24を凝縮器として使用するように、空調給湯システム100を図2に示す「第2運転状態」に設定する。
具体的に制御装置1aは、図4に示すように空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを開弁するとともに、空調用室外ファン25を運転する。さらに、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cを閉弁するとともに給湯用室外ファン45を停止する。
Therefore, if the air-conditioning heat dissipation amount is larger than the hot-water supply heat absorption amount when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed, the control device 1a configures the air-conditioning hot-water supply system 100 so as to use the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 as a condenser. To the “second operating state”.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the control device 1 a opens the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35 c and the second control valve 35 d and operates the air conditioning outdoor fan 25. Further, the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c are closed and the hot water supply outdoor fan 45 is stopped.

空調給湯システム100が「第2運転状態」に設定されると、空調用冷媒回路5では空調用圧縮機21の吐出口21bから吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒が四方弁22を経由して中間熱交換器23及び空調用熱源側熱交換器24に流入する。中間熱交換器23を流れる高温高圧のガス冷媒は中間熱交換器23内で給湯用冷媒へ放熱して凝縮し液化する。一方、空調用熱源側熱交換器24に流入する高温高圧のガス冷媒は大気へ放熱して凝縮し液化する。そして、中間熱交換器23及び空調用熱源側熱交換器24で液化した高圧の液冷媒は空調用冷媒タンク26を流れた後に所定の開度で開弁している空調用膨張弁27で減圧、膨張し、低温低圧の気液二相冷媒となり、空調用利用側熱交換器28に流入する。空調用利用側熱交換器28内を流れる気液二相冷媒は、空調用冷温水循環回路8を流通する相対的に高温の冷水から吸熱して蒸発し、低圧のガス冷媒となる。この低圧のガス冷媒は四方弁22を経由して空調用圧縮機21の吸込口21aに流入し、空調用圧縮機21によって再度圧縮されて高温高圧のガス冷媒となる。   When the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 is set to the “second operating state”, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 21 b of the air-conditioning compressor 21 is intermediated via the four-way valve 22 in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5. It flows into the heat exchanger 23 and the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 dissipates heat to the hot water supply refrigerant in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and is condensed and liquefied. On the other hand, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing into the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 dissipates heat to the atmosphere and condenses and liquefies. The high-pressure liquid refrigerant liquefied by the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 is depressurized by the air-conditioning expansion valve 27 that opens at a predetermined opening after flowing through the air-conditioning refrigerant tank 26. The refrigerant expands into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant and flows into the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 absorbs heat from the relatively high-temperature cold water flowing through the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 21a of the air-conditioning compressor 21 via the four-way valve 22, and is compressed again by the air-conditioning compressor 21 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant.

一方、給湯用冷媒回路6では、給湯用圧縮機41の吐出口41bから吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒は給湯用利用側熱交換器42に流入する。給湯用利用側熱交換器42内を流れる高温高圧のガス冷媒は、給湯流路9内を流れる水に放熱して凝縮し、液化する。そして、液化した高圧の液冷媒は、給湯用冷媒タンク46を流れた後に所定の開度で開弁している給湯用膨張弁43で減圧、膨張して低温低圧の気液二相冷媒となる。この気液二相冷媒は中間熱交換器23を流れる間に、中間熱交換器23を流れる高温の空調用冷媒から吸熱して蒸発し、低圧のガス冷媒となる。この低圧のガス冷媒は、給湯用圧縮機41の吸込口41aに流入し、給湯用圧縮機41によって再度圧縮されて高温高圧のガス冷媒となる。   On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 41 b of the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply passage 9 and condenses and liquefies. The liquefied high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the hot water supply refrigerant tank 46, and then is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 opened at a predetermined opening degree to become a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. . While the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flows through the intermediate heat exchanger 23, the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant absorbs heat from the high-temperature air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41 and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant.

このように、空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きい場合、制御装置1aは排熱回収運転するときに、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを開弁するとともに空調用室外ファン25を運転し、空調放熱量の一部を空調用熱源側熱交換器24で大気に放熱することによって、給湯用配管72を流通する水に供給される熱量が過剰になることを回避する。   Thus, when the air conditioning heat radiation amount is larger than the hot water supply heat absorption amount, the control device 1a opens the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d and performs the air conditioning outdoor fan 25 when performing the exhaust heat recovery operation. , And a part of the air-conditioning heat radiation amount is radiated to the atmosphere by the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24, thereby avoiding an excessive amount of heat supplied to the water flowing through the hot water supply pipe 72.

ここで、空調用冷媒回路5の凝縮温度「Tca」は、室外空気へ放熱しなければならないため、室外空気温度「Tao」よりも高温でなければならない。一方、排熱回収運転では中間熱交換器23の中で給湯用冷媒回路6を流通する給湯用冷媒と、空調用冷媒回路5を流通する空調用冷媒が熱交換して、吸・放熱を行うため、空調用冷媒回路5の凝縮温度「Tca」は、給湯用冷媒回路6の蒸発温度「Tee」よりも高温でなければならない。つまり、排熱回収運転では、空調用熱源側熱交換器24と中間熱交換器23で、「Tca>Tao」、かつ、「Tca>Tee」の条件が満足されなければ、空調用冷媒回路5の放熱量(空調放熱量)が不足してしまうことになる。   Here, the condensation temperature “Tca” of the refrigerant circuit 5 for air conditioning must be higher than the outdoor air temperature “Tao” because it must radiate heat to the outdoor air. On the other hand, in the exhaust heat recovery operation, the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 and the air conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 exchange heat in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 to absorb and release heat. Therefore, the condensation temperature “Tca” of the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 must be higher than the evaporation temperature “Tee” of the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6. That is, in the exhaust heat recovery operation, if the conditions of “Tca> Tao” and “Tca> Tee” are not satisfied in the heat source side heat exchanger 24 and the intermediate heat exchanger 23, the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 The heat dissipation amount (air conditioning heat dissipation amount) will be insufficient.

例えば、「Tao<<Tee」のために「Tca≒Tao」となり、空調用熱源側熱交換器24で放熱量不足になる場合や、「Tao<<Tee」のために「Tca≒Tee」となり、中間熱交換器23で吸・放熱量不足となる場合等が挙げられる。
このとき、空調用冷媒は放熱不足もしくは放熱不可能となり、中間熱交換器23もしくは、空調用熱源側熱交換器24から乾き度の高い空調用冷媒が流出する。この高い乾き度の空調用冷媒は比容積が大きいので空調用膨張弁27を通過する際に流速が極めて高くなる。この結果、流動抵抗が増大し、流れが閉塞するような現象が生じ、空調給湯システム100全体の動作を不安定にしてしまうといった問題が発生する。
For example, “Tca≈Tao” due to “Tao << Tee”, and if the amount of heat radiation becomes insufficient in the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning, or “Tca≈Tee” due to “Tao << Tee”. For example, the intermediate heat exchanger 23 may be insufficient in the amount of heat absorbed or dissipated.
At this time, the air-conditioning refrigerant is insufficiently heat-dissipated or cannot be dissipated, and the air-conditioning refrigerant having a high degree of dryness flows out from the intermediate heat exchanger 23 or the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24. Since the air-conditioning refrigerant having a high dryness has a large specific volume, the flow velocity becomes extremely high when passing through the air-conditioning expansion valve 27. As a result, the flow resistance increases and a phenomenon occurs in which the flow is blocked, causing a problem that the operation of the entire air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 becomes unstable.

そこで、空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きい場合、制御装置1aは、空調用熱源側熱交換器24に流入する高温高圧のガス冷媒の全てが液化するような流量で、空調用熱源側熱交換器24をガス冷媒が流通するように空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの弁開度を調整する。
そして制御装置1aは、空調用熱源側熱交換器24における空調用冷媒の温度に基づいて空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの弁開度を調整する。
具体的に、制御装置1aは、空調用熱源側熱交換器24(冷房時空調用冷媒出口24bの近傍)に備わる温度センサTH22から受信するデータに基づいて演算される空調用冷媒の温度(空調用熱交換器出口温度)が、予め演算される、空調用冷媒回路5における凝縮温度(目標凝縮温度)となるように、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの弁開度を調整する。
この構成によって、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の放熱量不足から生じる流動抵抗の増大を防止し、流れの閉塞等の現象の発生を防止できる。
Therefore, when the air-conditioning heat dissipation amount is larger than the hot-water supply heat absorption amount, the control device 1a performs air-conditioning heat source side heat exchange at a flow rate such that all of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing into the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 is liquefied. The valve opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c is adjusted so that the gas refrigerant flows through the vessel 24.
Then, the control device 1a adjusts the valve opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c based on the temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant in the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning.
Specifically, the control device 1a determines the temperature of the air-conditioning refrigerant (air-conditioning) calculated based on data received from the temperature sensor TH22 provided in the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 (near the air-conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b). The opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c is adjusted so that the heat exchanger outlet temperature) becomes a condensation temperature (target condensation temperature) in the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 calculated in advance.
With this configuration, it is possible to prevent an increase in flow resistance resulting from a shortage of heat released from the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning, and to prevent occurrence of a phenomenon such as a flow blockage.

一方、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合(給湯吸熱量>空調放熱量)、空調用冷媒回路5を流通する空調用冷媒の全てが中間熱交換器23に流通しても、給湯用冷媒回路6を流通する給湯用冷媒を介して給湯用配管72を流通する水に供給される熱量が不足する。したがって、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合、空調用冷媒回路5を流通する空調用冷媒の全てが中間熱交換器23に流通し、空調用冷媒が有する熱量の全てが中間熱交換器23で放熱されるように空調給湯システム100が制御される構成が好ましい。   On the other hand, when the amount of heat absorbed by the hot water supply is greater than the amount of heat absorbed by the air conditioning (the amount of heat absorbed by the hot water> the amount of heat released by the air conditioning), even if all of the air conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 flows through the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The amount of heat supplied to the water flowing through the hot water supply pipe 72 via the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the circuit 6 is insufficient. Therefore, when the hot-water supply heat absorption amount is larger than the air-conditioning heat dissipation amount, all of the air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5 flows to the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and all the heat amount of the air-conditioning refrigerant has the intermediate heat exchanger 23. A configuration in which the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 is controlled so as to dissipate heat is preferable.

そのため、制御装置1aは、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44を蒸発器として使用するように、空調給湯システム100を図2に示す「第3運転状態」に設定する。
具体的に制御装置1aは、図5に示すように空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを閉弁するとともに、空調用室外ファン25を停止する。さらに、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cを開弁するとともに給湯用室外ファン45を運転する。
Therefore, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 in the “third operation state” shown in FIG. 2 so that the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is used as an evaporator when the hot water supply heat absorption amount is larger than the air conditioning heat dissipation amount. Set to.
Specifically, the control device 1a closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d and stops the air conditioning outdoor fan 25 as shown in FIG. Further, the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c are opened, and the hot water supply outdoor fan 45 is operated.

空調給湯システム100が「第3運転状態」に設定されると、空調用冷媒回路5では空調用圧縮機21の吐出口21bから吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒が四方弁22を経由して中間熱交換器23に流入する。中間熱交換器23を流れる高温高圧のガス冷媒は中間熱交換器23内で給湯用冷媒へ放熱して凝縮し液化する。そして、中間熱交換器23で液化した高圧の液冷媒は空調用冷媒タンク26を流れた後に所定の開度で開弁している空調用膨張弁27で減圧、膨張し、低温低圧の気液二相冷媒となり、空調用利用側熱交換器28に流入する。空調用利用側熱交換器28内を流れる気液二相冷媒は、空調用冷温水循環回路8を流通する相対的に高温の冷水から吸熱して蒸発し、低圧のガス冷媒となる。この低圧のガス冷媒は四方弁22を経由して空調用圧縮機21の吸込口21aに流入し、空調用圧縮機21によって再度圧縮されて高温高圧のガス冷媒となる。   When the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 is set to the “third operation state”, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 21 b of the air-conditioning compressor 21 is intermediated via the four-way valve 22 in the air-conditioning refrigerant circuit 5. It flows into the heat exchanger 23. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 dissipates heat to the hot water supply refrigerant in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and is condensed and liquefied. Then, the high-pressure liquid refrigerant liquefied by the intermediate heat exchanger 23 is decompressed and expanded by the air-conditioning expansion valve 27 which is opened at a predetermined opening after flowing through the air-conditioning refrigerant tank 26, and is a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid. It becomes a two-phase refrigerant and flows into the air-conditioning use side heat exchanger 28. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant flowing in the air-conditioning use-side heat exchanger 28 absorbs heat from the relatively high-temperature cold water flowing through the air-conditioning cold / hot water circulation circuit 8 and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas refrigerant. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 21a of the air-conditioning compressor 21 via the four-way valve 22, and is compressed again by the air-conditioning compressor 21 to become a high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant.

一方、給湯用冷媒回路6では、給湯用圧縮機41の吐出口41bから吐出された高温高圧のガス冷媒は給湯用利用側熱交換器42に流入する。給湯用利用側熱交換器42内を流れる高温高圧のガス冷媒は、給湯流路9内を流れる水に放熱して凝縮し、液化する。そして、液化した高圧の液冷媒は、給湯用冷媒タンク46を流れた後に所定の開度で開弁している給湯用膨張弁43で減圧、膨張して低温低圧の気液二相冷媒となる。この気液二相冷媒の一部は中間熱交換器23を流れる間に、中間熱交換器23を流れる高温の空調用冷媒から吸熱して蒸発し、低圧のガス冷媒となる。この低圧のガス冷媒は、給湯用圧縮機41の吸込口41aに流入し、給湯用圧縮機41によって再度圧縮されて高温高圧のガス冷媒となる。
さらに、給湯用膨張弁43で減圧、膨張し、中間熱交換器23に流入しない低温低圧の気液二相冷媒は給湯用熱源側熱交換器44に流入して給湯用室外ファン45によって送風される相対的に高温の大気から吸熱して蒸発し、低圧のガス冷媒になって給湯用圧縮機41の吸込口41aから流入して給湯用圧縮機41によって再度圧縮されて高温高圧のガス冷媒となる。
On the other hand, in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant discharged from the discharge port 41 b of the hot water supply compressor 41 flows into the hot water supply use side heat exchanger 42. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing in the hot water use side heat exchanger 42 dissipates heat to the water flowing in the hot water supply passage 9 and condenses and liquefies. The liquefied high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows through the hot water supply refrigerant tank 46, and then is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 opened at a predetermined opening degree to become a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant. . A part of the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant absorbs heat from the high-temperature air-conditioning refrigerant flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23 while flowing through the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and becomes a low-pressure gas refrigerant. This low-pressure gas refrigerant flows into the suction port 41a of the hot water supply compressor 41 and is compressed again by the hot water supply compressor 41 to become a high-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant.
Further, the low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant that is decompressed and expanded by the hot water supply expansion valve 43 and does not flow into the intermediate heat exchanger 23 flows into the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 and is blown by the hot water supply outdoor fan 45. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the relatively high-temperature atmosphere and evaporates, becomes a low-pressure gas refrigerant, flows from the suction port 41a of the hot-water supply compressor 41, and is compressed again by the hot-water supply compressor 41. Become.

このように、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合、給湯用冷媒回路6を流通する給湯用冷媒の一部は給湯用熱源側熱交換器44で吸熱して蒸発するが、前記したように、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44は、中間熱交換器23より給湯用冷媒が流通しやすく構成されるため、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44に多くの給湯用冷媒が流れ込み、中間熱交換器23における空調用冷媒と給湯用冷媒の熱交換量が所望する熱量より小さくなる。   As described above, when the hot water supply heat absorption amount is larger than the air conditioning heat dissipation amount, a part of the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 absorbs heat in the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 and evaporates. The hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is configured so that the hot water supply refrigerant flows more easily than the intermediate heat exchanger 23. Therefore, a large amount of hot water supply refrigerant flows into the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44, and the intermediate heat exchanger. The amount of heat exchange between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant at 23 is smaller than the desired amount of heat.

そこで、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合、制御装置1aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44に流入する高温高圧のガス冷媒の全てが気化するような流量で、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44をガス冷媒が流通するように給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの弁開度を調整する。
そして制御装置1aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44における給湯用冷媒の温度に基づいて給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの弁開度を調整する。
具体的に、制御装置1aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44に備わる温度センサTH23から受信するデータに基づいて演算される給湯用冷媒の温度(給湯用熱交換器出口温度)が、予め演算される、給湯用冷媒回路6における蒸発温度(目標蒸発温度)となるように、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの弁開度を調整する。
この構成によって、中間熱交換器23において、空調用冷媒と給湯用冷媒とで所望の熱量を熱交換させることができる。
Therefore, when the amount of heat absorbed by the hot water supply is larger than the amount of heat released from the air conditioning, the control device 1a performs heat exchange on the heat source side for hot water supply at a flow rate such that all of the high-temperature and high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing into the heat source side heat exchanger for hot water supply is vaporized. The valve opening degree of the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a is adjusted so that the gas refrigerant flows through the vessel 44.
The control device 1a adjusts the valve opening degree of the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a based on the temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44.
Specifically, the control device 1a calculates in advance the temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant (hot water supply heat exchanger outlet temperature) calculated based on data received from the temperature sensor TH23 provided in the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. The valve opening degree of the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a is adjusted so that the evaporation temperature (target evaporation temperature) in the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 is reached.
With this configuration, in the intermediate heat exchanger 23, a desired amount of heat can be exchanged between the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant.

制御装置1aが空調給湯システム100を排熱回収運転するときの手順を、図6を参照して説明する(適宜図1〜5参照)。
なお、制御装置1aは、例えば、利用者が操作するリモコン(図示せず)からの指令信号を受信したときに、空調給湯システム100の排熱回収運転を開始するように構成される。例えば、利用者が住宅60の室内に入室してリモコン操作によって図示しない空調装置の冷房運転(空調サイクルの冷房運転)を開始する場合、給湯サイクルで給湯運転しているときに制御装置1aが排熱回収運転を開始するように構成される。
または、空調サイクルで冷房運転している場合に、利用者の操作等によって給湯サイクルでの給湯運転を開始するとき、制御装置1aが排熱回収運転を開始するように構成される。
その他、予め組み込まれている動作プログラムに基づいて、例えば、予め設定されている所定時刻に制御装置1aが空調給湯システム100の排熱回収運転を自動的に開始する構成であってもよい。
A procedure when the control device 1a performs the exhaust heat recovery operation of the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 6 (refer to FIGS. 1 to 5 as appropriate).
The control device 1a is configured to start the exhaust heat recovery operation of the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100, for example, when receiving a command signal from a remote controller (not shown) operated by the user. For example, when the user enters the room of the house 60 and starts a cooling operation (cooling operation of the air conditioning cycle) of an air conditioner (not shown) by remote control operation, the control device 1a is discharged when the hot water supply operation is performed in the hot water supply cycle. It is configured to initiate a heat recovery operation.
Alternatively, when the cooling operation is performed in the air conditioning cycle, when the hot water supply operation in the hot water supply cycle is started by a user operation or the like, the control device 1a is configured to start the exhaust heat recovery operation.
In addition, based on an operation program incorporated in advance, for example, the control device 1a may automatically start the exhaust heat recovery operation of the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 at a predetermined time set in advance.

排熱回収運転を開始すると制御装置1aは、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c、第2制御弁35d、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a、及び第4制御弁49cを閉弁し(ステップS1)、その後、各種データの受信処理を行う(ステップS2)。具体的に、制御装置1aは、給湯サイクルにおける目標湯温(沸き上げ温度)、目標湯量(流量)、及び給水口78から給水される水の水温(給水温度)を示すデータを受信する。また、空調サイクルにおける目標温度(設定室温)、目標風量、及び室内温度を示すデータを受信する。
給湯サイクルの目標湯温及び目標湯量を示すデータは、利用者が操作するリモコン(図示せず)から制御装置1aに入力されるデータであり、給水温度を示すデータは温度センサTH1から入力されるデータである。
また、空調サイクルの目標温度及び目標風量を示すデータは、利用者が操作するリモコンから制御装置1aに入力されるデータであり、室内温度を示すデータは温度センサTH20から入力されるデータである。
When the exhaust heat recovery operation is started, the control device 1a closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c, the second control valve 35d, the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a, and the fourth control valve 49c (step S1), and thereafter. Then, various data reception processing is performed (step S2). Specifically, the control device 1a receives data indicating the target hot water temperature (boiling temperature), the target hot water amount (flow rate), and the water temperature (water supply temperature) of water supplied from the water supply port 78 in the hot water supply cycle. In addition, data indicating the target temperature (set room temperature), the target air volume, and the room temperature in the air conditioning cycle is received.
Data indicating the target hot water temperature and target hot water volume of the hot water supply cycle is data input to the control device 1a from a remote controller (not shown) operated by the user, and data indicating the water supply temperature is input from the temperature sensor TH1. It is data.
The data indicating the target temperature and target air volume of the air conditioning cycle is data input to the control device 1a from the remote controller operated by the user, and the data indicating the room temperature is data input from the temperature sensor TH20.

制御装置1aは、ステップS2で受信した各データに基づいた演算処理を実行する(ステップS3)。具体的に制御装置1aは、給湯サイクルにおける目標給湯能力「Qh」、給湯用圧縮機41の目標回転速度、給湯用圧縮機41の目標吐出温度「Td」、及び給湯用圧縮機41の入力「Whcomp」を演算する。
さらに、制御装置1aは、空調サイクルにおける目標空調能力「Qc」、空調用圧縮機21の目標回転速度、空調用冷媒の目標蒸発温度「Te」、及び空調用圧縮機21の入力「Wccomp」を演算する。
さらに、制御装置1aは、給湯サイクルの目標給湯能力「Qh」と給湯用圧縮機41の入力「Whcomp」との差から給湯吸熱量を演算するとともに、空調サイクルの目標空調能力「Qc」と空調用圧縮機21の入力「Wccomp」との和から空調放熱量を演算する(ステップS4)。
The control device 1a executes arithmetic processing based on each data received in step S2 (step S3). Specifically, the control device 1a sets the target hot water supply capacity “Qh” in the hot water supply cycle, the target rotation speed of the hot water supply compressor 41, the target discharge temperature “Td” of the hot water supply compressor 41, and the input “ Whcomp "is calculated.
Further, the control device 1a sets the target air conditioning capacity “Qc” in the air conditioning cycle, the target rotational speed of the air conditioning compressor 21, the target evaporation temperature “Te” of the air conditioning refrigerant, and the input “Wccomp” of the air conditioning compressor 21. Calculate.
Further, the control device 1a calculates the amount of heat absorbed by the hot water supply from the difference between the target hot water supply capacity “Qh” of the hot water supply cycle and the input “Whcomp” of the hot water supply compressor 41, and the target air conditioning capacity “Qc” of the air conditioning cycle and the air conditioning. The air conditioning heat radiation amount is calculated from the sum of the input “Wccomp” of the compressor 21 (step S4).

そして、制御装置1aは、ステップS4で演算した給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量を比較し(ステップS5)、給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量が等しいか否かを判定する。なお、ステップS5において制御装置1aは、給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量の差が予め設定される範囲内にあるときに、給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量が等しいと判定する。
そして、給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量が等しいとき(ステップS5→Yes)、制御装置1aは空調給湯システム100を「第1運転状態」に設定して、排熱回収運転を実行する(ステップS6)。
つまり、本実施形態における「第1運転状態」は、給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量が等しい場合に排熱回収運転されるときの空調給湯システム100の状態である。
Then, the control device 1a compares the hot water supply heat absorption amount calculated in step S4 with the air conditioning heat dissipation amount (step S5), and determines whether the hot water supply heat absorption amount and the air conditioning heat dissipation amount are equal. In step S5, control device 1a determines that the hot water supply heat absorption amount and the air conditioning heat radiation amount are equal when the difference between the hot water heat absorption amount and the air conditioning heat radiation amount is within a preset range.
When the hot water supply heat absorption amount is equal to the air conditioning heat dissipation amount (step S5 → Yes), the control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 to the “first operation state” and executes the exhaust heat recovery operation (step S6). .
That is, the “first operation state” in the present embodiment is a state of the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed when the hot water supply heat absorption amount and the air conditioning heat radiation amount are equal.

図7を参照して、制御装置1aが空調給湯システム100を「第1運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する手順を説明する。
制御装置1aは、中間熱交換器23の出入口(冷房時空調用冷媒入口23a、冷房時空調用冷媒出口23b、給湯用冷媒入口23c、給湯用冷媒出口23d)に配設される開閉弁35a,35b,49b,49dの全てを開弁する(ステップS601)。また、制御装置1aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の出入口(給湯用冷媒入口44a、給湯用冷媒出口44b)に配設される給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cを閉弁するとともに給湯用室外ファン45を停止する(ステップS602)。さらに、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の出入口(冷房時空調用冷媒入口24a、冷房時空調用冷媒出口24b)に配設される空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを閉弁するとともに空調用室外ファン25を停止する(ステップS603)。
つまり、制御装置1aは、給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量が等しいため、図3に示すように中間熱交換器23のみを使用して冷房運転と給湯運転を行うように空調給湯システム100を設定する。
With reference to FIG. 7, a description will be given of a procedure in which the control device 1a performs the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 to the “first operation state”.
The control device 1a includes an on-off valve 35a disposed at the inlet / outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 (cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 23a, cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 23b, hot water supply refrigerant inlet 23c, hot water supply refrigerant outlet 23d). All of 35b, 49b, and 49d are opened (step S601). Further, the control device 1a closes the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c disposed at the inlet / outlet of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 (the hot water supply refrigerant inlet 44a and the hot water supply refrigerant outlet 44b). The hot water supply outdoor fan 45 is stopped while the valve is turned on (step S602). Further, the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d disposed at the inlet / outlet of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 (cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a, cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b) are closed. At the same time, the outdoor fan 25 for air conditioning is stopped (step S603).
That is, the controller 1a sets the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 to perform the cooling operation and the hot water supply operation using only the intermediate heat exchanger 23 as shown in FIG. .

そして、制御装置1aは、図6のステップS3での演算結果に従って給湯サイクル及び空調サイクルを運転する。具体的に制御装置1aは、給湯サイクルにおいて、図6のステップS3で演算した目標回転速度で給湯用圧縮機41を運転し、さらに、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の吐出温度が目標吐出温度「Td」となるように給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度を設定する(ステップS604)。
例えば、目標吐出温度と給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度の関係を示すマップを予め決定し、制御装置1aが、演算した目標吐出温度「Td」に基づいて当該マップを参照することによって給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度を設定する構成とすればよい。
そして、制御装置1aは、空調サイクルにおいて、図6のステップS3で演算した目標回転速度で空調用圧縮機21を運転し、さらに、空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となるように空調用膨張弁27の弁開度を設定し(ステップS605)、リターンする。
例えば、目標蒸発温度と空調用膨張弁27の弁開度の関係を示すマップを予め決定し、制御装置1aが、演算した目標蒸発温度「Te」に基づいて当該マップを参照することによって空調用膨張弁27の弁開度を設定する構成とすればよい。
このように、給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量が等しい場合、制御装置1aは、空調給湯システム100を「第1運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する。
なお、図7のフローチャートに示すように、空調給湯システム100を「第1運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する手順からリターンすると、制御装置1aは手順を図6のステップS2に戻し(ステップS6→ステップS2)、排熱回収運転を継続する。
And control device 1a operates a hot-water supply cycle and an air-conditioning cycle according to a calculation result in Step S3 of Drawing 6. Specifically, the control device 1a operates the hot water supply compressor 41 at the target rotation speed calculated in step S3 of FIG. 6 in the hot water supply cycle, and the discharge temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle is the target discharge temperature “Td”. The valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 is set so as to become "(step S604).
For example, a map indicating the relationship between the target discharge temperature and the valve opening of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 is determined in advance, and the controller 1a refers to the map based on the calculated target discharge temperature “Td”. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which sets the valve opening degree of the expansion valve 43. FIG.
Then, in the air conditioning cycle, the control device 1a operates the air conditioning compressor 21 at the target rotational speed calculated in step S3 of FIG. 6, and the evaporation temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle is the target evaporation temperature “Te”. Then, the opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is set (step S605), and the process returns.
For example, a map indicating the relationship between the target evaporation temperature and the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is determined in advance, and the control device 1a refers to the calculated map based on the calculated target evaporation temperature “Te”. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which sets the valve opening degree of the expansion valve 27. FIG.
Thus, when the hot water supply heat absorption amount and the air conditioning heat radiation amount are equal, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 to the “first operation state” and performs the exhaust heat recovery operation.
As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, when returning from the procedure for setting the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 to the “first operation state” and performing the exhaust heat recovery operation, the control device 1a returns the procedure to step S2 of FIG. From step S6 to step S2), the exhaust heat recovery operation is continued.

説明を図6のステップS5に戻す。給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量が等しくないとき(ステップS5→No)、制御装置1aは給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量の大きさを比較し(ステップS7)、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量未満のとき(ステップS7→Yes)、空調給湯システム100を「第2運転状態」に設定して、排熱回収運転を実行する(ステップS8)。
つまり、「第2運転状態」は、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量未満の場合に排熱回収運転されるときの空調給湯システム100の状態である。
The description returns to step S5 in FIG. When the hot water supply heat absorption amount and the air conditioning heat dissipation amount are not equal (step S5 → No), the control device 1a compares the hot water supply heat absorption amount with the air conditioning heat dissipation amount (step S7), and the hot water supply heat absorption amount is less than the air conditioning heat dissipation amount. (Step S7 → Yes), the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 is set to the “second operation state”, and the exhaust heat recovery operation is executed (Step S8).
That is, the “second operation state” is a state of the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed when the hot water supply heat absorption amount is less than the air conditioning heat dissipation amount.

図8を参照して、制御装置1aが空調給湯システム100を「第2運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する手順を説明する。
制御装置1aは、中間熱交換器23の出入口(冷房時空調用冷媒入口23a、冷房時空調用冷媒出口23b、給湯用冷媒入口23c、給湯用冷媒出口23d)に配設される開閉弁35a,35b,49b,49dの全てを開弁する(ステップS801)。また、制御装置1aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の出入口(給湯用冷媒入口44a、給湯用冷媒出口44b)に配設される給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cを閉弁するとともに給湯用室外ファン45を停止する(ステップS802)。さらに、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の出入口(冷房時空調用冷媒入口24a、冷房時空調用冷媒出口24b)に配設される空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを開弁する(ステップS803)。
つまり、制御装置1aは、空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きいため、図4に示すように、空調放熱量と給湯吸熱量の差に相当する熱量を空調用熱源側熱交換器24で大気に放熱しながら冷房運転と給湯運転を行うように空調給湯システム100を設定する。
With reference to FIG. 8, the procedure in which the control device 1a performs the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 to the “second operation state” will be described.
The control device 1a includes an on-off valve 35a disposed at the inlet / outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 (cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 23a, cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 23b, hot water supply refrigerant inlet 23c, hot water supply refrigerant outlet 23d). All of 35b, 49b, and 49d are opened (step S801). Further, the control device 1a closes the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c disposed at the inlet / outlet of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 (the hot water supply refrigerant inlet 44a and the hot water supply refrigerant outlet 44b). The hot water supply outdoor fan 45 is stopped while the valve is turned on (step S802). Further, the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d disposed at the inlet / outlet of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 (cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a, cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b) are opened. (Step S803).
That is, since the air-conditioning heat dissipation amount is larger than the hot water supply heat absorption amount, the control device 1a converts the heat amount corresponding to the difference between the air conditioning heat dissipation amount and the hot water supply heat absorption amount into the atmosphere with the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 as shown in FIG. The air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 is set to perform cooling operation and hot water supply operation while dissipating heat.

その後、制御装置1aは、各データの受信処理を行う(ステップS804)。具体的に制御装置1aは、図6のステップS4で演算した給湯吸熱量及び空調放熱量のデータと、温度センサTH19から入力される外気温度を示すデータを受信する。そして、受信した各データに基づいて、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の目標蒸発温度「Te」と、空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の目標凝縮温度「Tc」を演算する(ステップS805)。   Thereafter, the control device 1a performs reception processing for each data (step S804). Specifically, the control device 1a receives the hot water supply heat absorption amount and the air conditioning heat release amount data calculated in step S4 of FIG. 6 and data indicating the outside air temperature input from the temperature sensor TH19. Based on the received data, the target evaporation temperature “Te” of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle and the target condensation temperature “Tc” of the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle are calculated (step S805).

そして制御装置1aは、ステップS805での演算結果に従って給湯サイクル及び空調サイクルを運転する。
具体的に、制御装置1aは、給湯サイクルにおいて給湯用圧縮機41を目標回転速度で運転し、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となるように給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度を設定する。
さらに、制御装置1aは、空調サイクルにおいて空調用圧縮機21を目標回転速度で運転し、空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の凝縮温度が目標凝縮温度「Tc」となるように空調用室外ファン25の回転速度を設定するとともに空調用膨張弁27の弁開度を設定する(ステップS806)。
Then, the control device 1a operates the hot water supply cycle and the air conditioning cycle in accordance with the calculation result in step S805.
Specifically, the control device 1a operates the hot water supply compressor 41 at the target rotation speed in the hot water supply cycle, and the hot water supply expansion valve 43 so that the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle becomes the target evaporation temperature “Te”. Set the valve opening.
Furthermore, the control device 1a operates the air conditioning compressor 21 at the target rotation speed in the air conditioning cycle, and rotates the air conditioning outdoor fan 25 so that the condensation temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle becomes the target condensation temperature “Tc”. The speed is set and the opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is set (step S806).

例えば、目標蒸発温度と給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度の関係を示すマップを予め決定し、制御装置1aが、演算した目標蒸発温度「Te」に基づいて当該マップを参照することによって給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度を設定する構成とすればよい。
また、目標凝縮温度と空調用膨張弁27の弁開度と空調用室外ファン25の回転速度の関係を示すマップを予め決定し、制御装置1aが、演算した目標凝縮温度「Tc」に基づいて当該マップを参照することによって空調用室外ファン25の回転速度及び空調用膨張弁27の弁開度を設定する構成とすればよい。
For example, a map indicating the relationship between the target evaporation temperature and the valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 is determined in advance, and the control device 1a refers to the map based on the calculated target evaporation temperature “Te”. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which sets the valve opening degree of the expansion valve 43. FIG.
Further, a map indicating the relationship between the target condensing temperature, the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 and the rotational speed of the air conditioning outdoor fan 25 is determined in advance, and the control device 1a is based on the calculated target condensing temperature “Tc”. A configuration may be adopted in which the rotational speed of the air-conditioning outdoor fan 25 and the valve opening degree of the air-conditioning expansion valve 27 are set by referring to the map.

そして、制御装置1aは、温度センサTH22から受信するデータに基づいて、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の空調用熱交換器出口温度を演算する(ステップS807)。
そして、制御装置1aは空調用熱源側熱交換器24の空調用熱交換器出口温度が、演算された目標凝縮温度「Tc」となるように、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの弁開度を設定する(ステップS808)。このように、制御装置1aは、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの弁開度を設定することによって、空調用熱源側熱交換器24への空調用冷媒の流入量を調整する。
And the control apparatus 1a calculates the heat exchanger exit temperature for the air conditioning of the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for an air conditioning based on the data received from the temperature sensor TH22 (step S807).
Then, the control device 1a sets the valve opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c so that the air conditioning heat exchanger outlet temperature of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 becomes the calculated target condensation temperature “Tc”. Set (step S808). Thus, the control device 1a adjusts the inflow amount of the air conditioning refrigerant to the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning by setting the valve opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c.

さらに、制御装置1aは、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となっているか否かを判定する(ステップS809)。給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となっている場合(ステップS809→Yes)、制御装置1aは空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の凝縮温度が目標凝縮温度「Tc」となっているか否かを判定する(ステップS810)。空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の凝縮温度が目標凝縮温度「Tc」となっている場合(ステップS810→Yes)、給湯サイクルの運転が目標給湯能力「Qh」で、空調サイクルの運転が目標空調能力「Qc」になっているとき(ステップS811→Yes)、制御装置1aは、第2運転状態で排熱回収運転する手順を終了してリターンするが、給湯サイクルの運転が目標給湯能力「Qh」になっていないか空調サイクルの運転が目標空調能力「Qc」になっていないとき(ステップS811→No)、制御装置1aは手順をステップS806に戻す。
また、空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の凝縮温度が目標凝縮温度「Tc」となっていない場合(ステップS810→No)、制御装置1aは、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dの弁開度を設定し(ステップS812)、手順をステップS806に戻す。具体的に制御装置1aは、ステップS812で空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを少し閉弁する。そして、手順をステップS806に戻し、以下の手順を実行する。
Further, control device 1a determines whether or not the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle is equal to target evaporation temperature "Te" (step S809). When the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle is the target evaporation temperature “Te” (step S809 → Yes), the control device 1a sets the condensation temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle to the target condensation temperature “Tc”. It is determined whether or not (step S810). When the condensation temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle is the target condensation temperature “Tc” (step S810 → Yes), the hot water supply cycle operation is the target hot water supply capacity “Qh”, and the air conditioning cycle operation is the target air conditioning capacity “ When it is “Qc” (step S811 → Yes), the control device 1a returns after completing the procedure of the exhaust heat recovery operation in the second operation state, but the operation of the hot water supply cycle becomes the target hot water supply capacity “Qh”. If the air conditioning cycle has not reached the target air conditioning capacity “Qc” (step S811 → No), the control device 1a returns the procedure to step S806.
When the condensation temperature of the air-conditioning refrigerant in the air-conditioning cycle is not equal to the target condensation temperature “Tc” (step S810 → No), the control device 1a controls the valves for the air-conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d. The opening degree is set (step S812), and the procedure returns to step S806. Specifically, the control device 1a slightly closes the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d in step S812. Then, the procedure returns to step S806, and the following procedure is executed.

一方、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となっていない場合(ステップS809→No)、制御装置1aは手順をステップS806に戻し、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となるように給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度を調整する。
なお、図8のフローチャートに示すように、空調給湯システム100を「第2運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する手順からリターンすると、制御装置1aは手順を図6のステップS2に戻し(ステップS8→ステップS2)、排熱回収運転を継続する。
On the other hand, when the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle is not equal to the target evaporation temperature “Te” (step S809 → No), the control device 1a returns the procedure to step S806, and the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle Is adjusted to the target evaporation temperature “Te”.
As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, when returning from the procedure of setting the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 to the “second operation state” and performing the exhaust heat recovery operation, the control device 1a returns the procedure to step S2 of FIG. From step S8 to step S2), the exhaust heat recovery operation is continued.

このように空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きい場合、空制御装置1aは、空調給湯システム100を「第2運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する。
この場合、制御装置1aは、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の冷房時空調用冷媒出口24b近傍における空調用熱交換器出口温度が、演算される凝縮温度(目標凝縮温度「Tc」)となるように、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの弁開度を調整する。この構成によって、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の放熱量不足から生じる流動抵抗の増大を防止し、流れの閉塞等の現象の発生を防止できる。
Thus, when the air conditioning heat radiation amount is larger than the hot water supply heat absorption amount, the empty control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 to the “second operation state” and performs the exhaust heat recovery operation.
In this case, in the control device 1a, the air-conditioning heat exchanger outlet temperature in the vicinity of the air-conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b of the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 becomes the calculated condensation temperature (target condensation temperature “Tc”). Thus, the valve opening degree of the air-conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c is adjusted. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent an increase in flow resistance resulting from a shortage of heat released from the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning, and to prevent occurrence of a phenomenon such as a flow blockage.

説明を図6のステップS7に戻す。給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きいとき(ステップS7→No)、制御装置1aは空調給湯システム100を「第3運転状態」に設定して、排熱回収運転を実行する(ステップS9)。つまり、「第3運転状態」は、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合に排熱回収運転されるときの空調給湯システム100の状態である。   The description returns to step S7 in FIG. When the hot water supply heat absorption amount is larger than the air conditioning heat dissipation amount (step S7 → No), the control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 to the “third operation state” and executes the exhaust heat recovery operation (step S9). That is, the “third operation state” is a state of the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed when the hot water supply heat absorption amount is larger than the air conditioning heat dissipation amount.

図9を参照して、制御装置1aが空調給湯システム100を「第3運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する手順を説明する。
制御装置1aは、中間熱交換器23の出入口(冷房時空調用冷媒入口23a、冷房時空調用冷媒出口23b、給湯用冷媒入口23c、給湯用冷媒出口23d)に配設される開閉弁35a,35b,49b,49dの全てを開弁する(ステップS901)。また、制御装置1aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の出入口(給湯用冷媒入口44a、給湯用冷媒出口44b)に配設される給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cを開弁する(ステップS902)。さらに、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の出入口(冷房時空調用冷媒入口24a、冷房時空調用冷媒出口24b)に配設される空調用冷媒流量調整弁35c及び第2制御弁35dを閉弁するとともに空調用室外ファン25を停止する(ステップS903)。
つまり、制御装置1aは、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きいため、図5に示すように、給湯吸熱量と空調放熱量の差に相当する熱量を給湯用熱源側熱交換器44で大気から吸熱しながら冷房運転と給湯運転を行うように空調給湯システム100を設定する。
With reference to FIG. 9, a description will be given of a procedure in which the control device 1a performs the exhaust heat recovery operation by setting the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 to the “third operation state”.
The control device 1a includes an on-off valve 35a disposed at the inlet / outlet of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 (cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 23a, cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 23b, hot water supply refrigerant inlet 23c, hot water supply refrigerant outlet 23d). All of 35b, 49b, and 49d are opened (step S901). Further, the control device 1a opens the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c disposed at the inlet / outlet of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 (the hot water supply refrigerant inlet 44a and the hot water supply refrigerant outlet 44b). (Step S902). Further, the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c and the second control valve 35d disposed at the inlet / outlet of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 (cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a, cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b) are closed. In addition, the air-conditioning outdoor fan 25 is stopped (step S903).
In other words, since the amount of heat absorbed by the hot water supply is larger than the amount of heat released from the air conditioning, the control device 1a generates the amount of heat corresponding to the difference between the amount of heat absorbed by the hot water and the amount of heat released from the air conditioning from the atmosphere by the heat exchanger for heat supply for hot water 44 as shown in FIG. The air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 is set to perform cooling operation and hot water supply operation while absorbing heat.

その後、制御装置1aは、各データの受信処理を行う(ステップS904)。具体的に制御装置1aは、図6のステップS4で演算した給湯吸熱量及び空調放熱量のデータと、温度センサTH19から入力される外気温度を示すデータを受信する。そして、受信した各データに基づいて、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の目標蒸発温度「Te」と、空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の目標凝縮温度「Tc」を演算する(ステップS905)。   Thereafter, the control device 1a performs a reception process for each data (step S904). Specifically, the control device 1a receives the hot water supply heat absorption amount and the air conditioning heat release amount data calculated in step S4 of FIG. 6 and data indicating the outside air temperature input from the temperature sensor TH19. Based on the received data, the target evaporation temperature “Te” of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle and the target condensation temperature “Tc” of the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle are calculated (step S905).

そして、制御装置1aは、ステップS905での演算結果に従って給湯サイクル及び空調サイクルを運転する。
具体的に、制御装置1aは、空調サイクルにおいて空調用圧縮機21を目標回転速度で運転し、空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の凝縮温度が目標凝縮温度「Tc」となるように空調用膨張弁27の弁開度を設定する。
さらに、制御装置1aは、給湯サイクルにおいて給湯用圧縮機41を目標回転速度で運転し、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となるように給湯用室外ファン45の回転速度を設定するとともに給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度を設定する(ステップS906)。
And control device 1a operates a hot-water supply cycle and an air-conditioning cycle according to a calculation result in Step S905.
Specifically, the control device 1a operates the air conditioning compressor 21 at the target rotational speed in the air conditioning cycle, and the air conditioning expansion valve 27 so that the condensation temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant in the air conditioning cycle becomes the target condensation temperature “Tc”. Set the valve opening.
Furthermore, the control device 1a operates the hot water supply compressor 41 at the target rotation speed in the hot water supply cycle, and rotates the hot water supply outdoor fan 45 so that the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle becomes the target evaporation temperature “Te”. The speed is set and the valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 is set (step S906).

例えば、目標凝縮温度と空調用膨張弁27の弁開度の関係を示すマップを予め決定し、制御装置1aが、演算した目標凝縮温度「Tc」に基づいて当該マップを参照することによって空調用膨張弁27の弁開度を設定する構成とすればよい。
また、目標蒸発温度と給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度と給湯用室外ファン45の回転速度の関係を示すマップを予め決定し、制御装置1aが、演算した目標蒸発温度「Te」に基づいて当該マップを参照することによって給湯用室外ファン45の回転速度及び給湯用膨張弁43の弁開度を設定する構成とすればよい。
For example, a map indicating the relationship between the target condensing temperature and the valve opening degree of the air conditioning expansion valve 27 is determined in advance, and the control device 1a refers to the map based on the calculated target condensing temperature “Tc”. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which sets the valve opening degree of the expansion valve 27. FIG.
Further, a map indicating the relationship between the target evaporation temperature, the valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 and the rotational speed of the hot water supply outdoor fan 45 is determined in advance, and the control device 1a is based on the calculated target evaporation temperature “Te”. A configuration may be adopted in which the rotational speed of the hot water supply outdoor fan 45 and the valve opening degree of the hot water supply expansion valve 43 are set by referring to the map.

そして、制御装置1aは、温度センサTH23から受信するデータに基づいて、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用熱交換器出口温度を演算する(ステップS907)。
そして、制御装置1aは給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用熱交換器出口温度が、演算された、目標蒸発温度「Te」となるように、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの弁開度を設定する(ステップS908)。このように、制御装置1aは、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの弁開度を設定することによって、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44への給湯用冷媒の流入量を調整する。
Then, control device 1a calculates the hot water supply heat exchanger outlet temperature of hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 based on the data received from temperature sensor TH23 (step S907).
Then, the control device 1a opens the valve opening of the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a so that the hot water supply heat exchanger outlet temperature of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 becomes the calculated target evaporation temperature “Te”. Is set (step S908). In this way, the control device 1a adjusts the flow rate of the hot water supply refrigerant into the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 by setting the valve opening degree of the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a.

さらに、制御装置1aは、空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の凝縮温度が目標凝縮温度「Tc」となっているか否かを判定する(ステップS909)。空調サイクルにおける空調用冷媒の凝縮温度が目標凝縮温度「Tc」となっている場合(ステップS909→Yes)、制御装置1aは給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となっているか否かを判定する(ステップS910)。給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となっている場合(ステップS910→Yes)、給湯サイクルの運転が目標給湯能力「Qh」で、空調サイクルの運転が目標空調能力「Qc」になっているとき(ステップS911→Yes)、制御装置1aは第3運転状態で排熱回収運転する手順を終了してリターンするが、給湯サイクルの運転が目標給湯能力「Qh」になっていないか空調サイクルの運転が目標空調能力「Qc」になっていないとき(ステップS911→No)、制御装置1aは手順をステップS906に戻す。
また、給湯サイクルにおける給湯用冷媒の蒸発温度が目標蒸発温度「Te」となっていない場合(ステップS910→No)、制御装置1aは、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cの弁開度を設定し(ステップS912)、手順をステップS906に戻す。具体的に制御装置1aは、ステップS912で給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49a及び第4制御弁49cを少し閉弁する。そして、手順をステップS906に戻して、以下の手順を実行する。
なお、図9のフローチャートに示すように、空調給湯システム100を「第3運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する手順からリターンすると、制御装置1aは手順を図6のステップS2に戻し(ステップS9→ステップS2)、排熱回収運転を継続する。
Furthermore, the control device 1a determines whether or not the condensing temperature of the air-conditioning refrigerant in the air-conditioning cycle is the target condensing temperature “Tc” (step S909). When the condensation temperature of the air-conditioning refrigerant in the air-conditioning cycle is the target condensation temperature “Tc” (step S909 → Yes), the controller 1a sets the evaporation temperature of the hot-water supply refrigerant in the hot-water supply cycle to the target evaporation temperature “Te”. It is determined whether or not (step S910). When the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle is the target evaporation temperature “Te” (step S910 → Yes), the hot water supply cycle operation is the target hot water supply capacity “Qh”, and the air conditioning cycle operation is the target air conditioning capacity “ When “Qc” is set (step S911 → Yes), the control device 1a returns after completing the procedure of the exhaust heat recovery operation in the third operation state, but the operation of the hot water supply cycle becomes the target hot water supply capacity “Qh”. If the operation of the air conditioning cycle has not reached the target air conditioning capacity “Qc” (step S911 → No), the control device 1a returns the procedure to step S906.
When the evaporation temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the hot water supply cycle is not equal to the target evaporation temperature “Te” (step S910 → No), the control device 1a controls the valves for the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c. The opening degree is set (step S912), and the procedure returns to step S906. Specifically, the control device 1a slightly closes the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a and the fourth control valve 49c in step S912. Then, the procedure is returned to step S906, and the following procedure is executed.
As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 9, when returning from the procedure for setting the air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 to the “third operation state” and performing the exhaust heat recovery operation, the control device 1 a returns the procedure to step S <b> 2 of FIG. 6 ( From step S9 to step S2), the exhaust heat recovery operation is continued.

一方、空調サイクルにおいて目標凝縮温度「Tc」が得られていない場合(ステップS909→No)、制御装置1aは手順をステップS906に戻し、目標凝縮温度「Tc」が得られるように空調用膨張弁27の弁開度を調整する。   On the other hand, when the target condensing temperature “Tc” is not obtained in the air conditioning cycle (step S909 → No), the control device 1a returns the procedure to step S906, so that the target condensing temperature “Tc” is obtained. The valve opening of 27 is adjusted.

このように給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合、空制御装置1aは、空調給湯システム100を「第3運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転する。
この場合、制御装置1aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用冷媒出口44b近傍における温度が、予め演算される蒸発温度(目標蒸発温度)となるように、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの弁開度を調整する。この構成によって、中間熱交換器23及び給湯用熱源側熱交換器44で、給湯用冷媒の全てを蒸発させることができ、さらに、中間熱交換器23において、空調用冷媒と給湯用冷媒とで所望の熱量を熱交換させることができる。
Thus, when the hot water supply heat absorption amount is larger than the air conditioning heat dissipation amount, the empty control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 to the “third operation state” and performs the exhaust heat recovery operation.
In this case, the control device 1a uses the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a so that the temperature in the vicinity of the hot water supply refrigerant outlet 44b of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 becomes the evaporation temperature (target evaporation temperature) calculated in advance. Adjust the valve opening. With this configuration, it is possible to evaporate all of the hot water supply refrigerant in the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44, and in the intermediate heat exchanger 23, the air conditioning refrigerant and the hot water supply refrigerant A desired amount of heat can be exchanged.

以上のように、本実施形態に係る空調給湯システム100は、中間熱交換器23と並列に配置される空調用熱源側熱交換器24の冷房時空調用冷媒入口24a側に空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cを配置する。そして、冷房運転時に排熱回収運転をする場合、制御装置1aは、空調用熱源側熱交換器24における冷房時空調用冷媒出口24b近傍の空調用熱交換器出口温度に応じて空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cの弁開度を設定する。
この構成によって、空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きい場合に排熱回収運転するとき、空調用熱源側熱交換器24に流通させる空調用冷媒の流量を調整できる。そして、空調用熱源側熱交換器24で空調用冷媒を十分に冷却することができ、空調用熱源側熱交換器24を流通する空調用冷媒の全てを凝縮させることができる。換言すると、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の放熱量不足から生じる流動抵抗の過剰な増大を防止し、流れの閉塞等の現象の発生を防止できる。
As described above, the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 according to the present embodiment adjusts the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate to the air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a side of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 arranged in parallel with the intermediate heat exchanger 23. A valve 35c is arranged. When the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed during the cooling operation, the control device 1a uses the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate according to the air conditioning heat exchanger outlet temperature in the vicinity of the cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 24b in the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24. The valve opening degree of the adjusting valve 35c is set.
With this configuration, the flow rate of the air-conditioning refrigerant to be circulated to the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 can be adjusted when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed when the air-conditioning heat dissipation amount is larger than the hot water supply heat absorption amount. The air conditioning refrigerant can be sufficiently cooled by the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24, and all of the air conditioning refrigerant flowing through the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 can be condensed. In other words, it is possible to prevent an excessive increase in the flow resistance resulting from a shortage of heat radiation of the heat source side heat exchanger 24 for air conditioning, and to prevent the occurrence of a phenomenon such as a flow blockage.

一方、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合に排熱回収運転するとき、制御装置1aは、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aを開弁して給湯用熱源側熱交換器44に給湯用冷媒を流通させて大気の熱で気化させる。このとき、制御装置1aは、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用冷媒出口44bにおける給湯用熱交換器出口温度に基づいて給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aの弁開度を設定する。
この構成によって、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合に排熱回収運転するとき、給湯用冷媒回路6を流通する給湯用冷媒を、給湯サイクルにおける目標蒸発温度に基づいて、中間熱交換器23と給湯用熱源側熱交換器44とで好適に分配できる。そして、中間熱交換器23及び給湯用熱源側熱交換器44で、給湯用冷媒の全てを蒸発させることができ、さらに、中間熱交換器23において、空調用冷媒と給湯用冷媒とで所望の熱量を熱交換させることができる。
On the other hand, when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed when the hot-water supply heat absorption amount is larger than the air-conditioning heat dissipation amount, the control device 1a opens the hot-water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a to supply hot-water supply refrigerant to the hot-water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. Vaporize with atmospheric heat. At this time, the control device 1a sets the valve opening degree of the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a based on the hot water supply heat exchanger outlet temperature at the hot water supply refrigerant outlet 44b of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44.
With this configuration, when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed when the amount of heat absorbed by the hot water supply is greater than the amount of heat released from the air conditioning, the intermediate heat exchanger 23 uses the hot water supply refrigerant flowing through the hot water supply refrigerant circuit 6 based on the target evaporation temperature in the hot water supply cycle. And the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. Then, all of the hot water supply refrigerant can be evaporated by the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. Further, in the intermediate heat exchanger 23, desired air conditioning refrigerant and hot water supply refrigerant can be used. The amount of heat can be heat exchanged.

なお、本実施形態に係る空調給湯システム100は、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の冷房時空調用冷媒入口24a側に空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cを備え、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用冷媒入口44a側に給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aを備える構成とした。これは、前記したように、中間熱交換器23の空調用冷媒に対する流路抵抗が空調用熱源側熱交換器24の空調用冷媒に対する流路抵抗より大きく、中間熱交換器23の給湯用冷媒に対する流路抵抗が給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用冷媒に対する流路抵抗より大きいためである。   The air conditioning and hot water supply system 100 according to the present embodiment includes an air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c on the cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a side of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24, and the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 includes: A hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a is provided on the hot water supply refrigerant inlet 44a side. As described above, the flow resistance of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 to the air conditioning refrigerant is greater than the flow resistance of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 to the air conditioning refrigerant, and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 hot water supply refrigerant. This is because the flow path resistance with respect to the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 is larger than the flow path resistance with respect to the hot water supply refrigerant.

したがって、中間熱交換器23の空調用冷媒に対する流路抵抗が空調用熱源側熱交換器24の空調用冷媒に対する流路抵抗より小さく、中間熱交換器23の給湯用冷媒に対する流路抵抗が給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用冷媒に対する流路抵抗より小さい場合、図10に示すように、中間熱交換器23の冷房時空調用冷媒入口23aに配設される開閉弁35a(図1参照)に替えて流量調整可能な空調用冷媒流量調整弁35a1が配設され、中間熱交換器23の給湯用冷媒入口23cに配設される開閉弁49b(図1参照)に替えて流量調整可能な給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49b1が配設される構成としてもよい。   Therefore, the flow path resistance of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 with respect to the air conditioning refrigerant is smaller than the flow resistance of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 with respect to the air conditioning refrigerant, and the flow resistance of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 with respect to the hot water supply refrigerant is higher than that of the hot water supply. When the flow resistance with respect to the hot water supply refrigerant of the heat source side heat exchanger 44 is smaller than the flow path resistance, as shown in FIG. 10, the on-off valve 35a (FIG. 1) disposed at the cooling air conditioning refrigerant inlet 23a of the intermediate heat exchanger 23. The air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35a1 capable of adjusting the flow rate is provided instead of the on / off valve 49b (see FIG. 1) provided at the hot water supply refrigerant inlet 23c of the intermediate heat exchanger 23. A possible hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49b1 may be provided.

この構成の場合、中間熱交換器23の冷房時空調用冷媒出口23b近傍における空調用冷媒の温度を測定する空調用熱交換器出口温度測定手段(温度センサTH24)と、中間熱交換器23の給湯用冷媒出口23d近傍における給湯用冷媒の温度を測定する給湯用熱交換器出口温度測定手段(温度センサTH25)が備わる構成が好ましい。
そして、温度センサTH24が測定する空調用冷媒の温度を、中間熱交換器23の空調用熱交換器出口温度とし、温度センサTH25が測定する給湯用冷媒の温度を、中間熱交換器23の給湯用熱交換器出口温度とする。
この構成の場合、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の温度センサTH22、及び給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の温度センサTH23が備わらない構成としてもよい。
また、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の冷房時空調用冷媒入口24aに配設される空調用冷媒流量調整弁35cは、流量調整弁でない制御弁(膨張弁)であってもよいし、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用冷媒入口44aに配設される給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49aは、流量調整弁でない制御弁(膨張弁)であってもよい。
In this configuration, the air conditioning heat exchanger outlet temperature measuring means (temperature sensor TH24) for measuring the temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant in the vicinity of the cooling air conditioning refrigerant outlet 23b of the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and the intermediate heat exchanger 23 A configuration provided with a hot water supply heat exchanger outlet temperature measuring means (temperature sensor TH25) for measuring the temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant in the vicinity of the hot water supply refrigerant outlet 23d is preferable.
The temperature of the air conditioning refrigerant measured by the temperature sensor TH24 is defined as the outlet temperature of the air conditioning heat exchanger of the intermediate heat exchanger 23, and the temperature of the hot water supply refrigerant measured by the temperature sensor TH25 is defined as the hot water supply of the intermediate heat exchanger 23. Heat exchanger outlet temperature.
In this configuration, the temperature sensor TH22 of the air-conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 and the temperature sensor TH23 of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 may be omitted.
The air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35c disposed in the air conditioning refrigerant inlet 24a of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 may be a control valve (expansion valve) that is not a flow rate adjustment valve, The hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49a disposed at the hot water supply refrigerant inlet 44a of the heat source side heat exchanger 44 may be a control valve (expansion valve) that is not a flow rate adjustment valve.

そして制御装置1aは、空調放熱量が給湯吸熱量より大きい場合に排熱回収運転するとき、図8に示す手順にしたがって、空調給湯システム100を「第2運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転をする。
このとき、制御装置1aは、ステップS807で、空調用熱源側熱交換器24の空調用熱交換器出口温度に替えて、温度センサTH24から受信するデータに基づいて、中間熱交換器23の空調用熱交換器出口温度を演算する。そして、ステップS808で、中間熱交換器23の空調用熱交換器出口温度が、演算された目標凝縮温度「Tc」となるように、空調用冷媒流量調整弁35a1の弁開度を設定する。
このことによって、空調用冷媒に対する流路抵抗が小さい中間熱交換器23に好適な流量で空調用冷媒を流通させることができ、流動抵抗の増大を防止して流れの閉塞等の現象の発生を防止できる。
Then, when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed when the air conditioning heat dissipation amount is larger than the hot water supply heat absorption amount, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 to the “second operation state” according to the procedure shown in FIG. Drive.
At this time, in step S807, the control device 1a replaces the air conditioning heat exchanger outlet temperature of the air conditioning heat source side heat exchanger 24 with the air conditioning of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 based on the data received from the temperature sensor TH24. Calculate the heat exchanger outlet temperature. In step S808, the valve opening degree of the air conditioning refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 35a1 is set so that the air conditioning heat exchanger outlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 becomes the calculated target condensation temperature “Tc”.
As a result, the air conditioning refrigerant can be circulated at a flow rate suitable for the intermediate heat exchanger 23 having a small flow path resistance with respect to the air conditioning refrigerant, thereby preventing an increase in flow resistance and causing a phenomenon such as blockage of the flow. Can be prevented.

また、給湯吸熱量が空調放熱量より大きい場合に排熱回収運転するとき、制御装置1aは、図9に示す手順にしたがって、空調給湯システム100を「第3運転状態」に設定して排熱回収運転をする。
このとき、制御装置1aは、ステップS907で、給湯用熱源側熱交換器44の給湯用熱交換器出口温度に替えて、温度センサTH25から受信するデータに基づいて、中間熱交換器23の給湯用熱交換器出口温度を演算する。そして、ステップS908で、中間熱交換器23の給湯用熱交換器出口温度が、演算された目標蒸発温度「Te」となるように、給湯用冷媒流量調整弁49b1の弁開度を設定する。
このことによって、給湯用冷媒に対する流路抵抗が小さい中間熱交換器23に好適な流量で給湯用冷媒を流通させることができる。そして、中間熱交換器23及び給湯用熱源側熱交換器44で、給湯用冷媒の全てを蒸発させることができ、さらに、中間熱交換器23において、空調用冷媒と給湯用冷媒とで所望の熱量を熱交換させることができる。
Further, when the exhaust heat recovery operation is performed when the hot water supply heat absorption amount is larger than the air conditioning heat dissipation amount, the control device 1a sets the air conditioning hot water supply system 100 to the “third operation state” according to the procedure shown in FIG. Perform recovery operation.
At this time, in step S907, the control device 1a replaces the hot water supply heat exchanger outlet temperature of the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44 with the hot water supply of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 based on the data received from the temperature sensor TH25. Calculate the heat exchanger outlet temperature. In step S908, the valve opening degree of the hot water supply refrigerant flow rate adjustment valve 49b1 is set so that the hot water supply heat exchanger outlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger 23 becomes the calculated target evaporation temperature “Te”.
Accordingly, the hot water supply refrigerant can be circulated at a flow rate suitable for the intermediate heat exchanger 23 having a small flow path resistance with respect to the hot water supply refrigerant. Then, all of the hot water supply refrigerant can be evaporated by the intermediate heat exchanger 23 and the hot water supply heat source side heat exchanger 44. Further, in the intermediate heat exchanger 23, desired air conditioning refrigerant and hot water supply refrigerant can be used. The amount of heat can be heat exchanged.
